Headlines, headlines, headlines. They are seemingly endless in the world of health pumping out information to the masses who generally buy them at face value without digging deeper into what the real story is all about. The media is quite savvy in their ability to craft a compelling headline to capture eyeballs, but they don't always represent the real deal when it comes to the overall message being conveyed. That's why we're here to provide you with educated news and views to know how to respond to the headlines people are talking about.
